81 Truly Awful Tattoos That Are Funny, Tragic, And Permanent All At Once (New Pics)

I assume this was a typo and you meant to write $3.00

Eyes blacked out. I mean you could not recognize the guy from... maybe... the tats?

Yuk

It's a crack rat.

Can someone explain what the desire to cover your body with bad ink?

Love the cover-up piece

Well, at least they have some meaning?

This is sad, hope shes ok.

Always look at an artist's portfolio first. If there is no portfolio, maybe reconsider your artist.

So gross

Frostbite

Only because the California Raisin is facing the wrong way. Otherwise, I like this.

I thought this was thump at first. That would have been better.

All 5 minutes?!

Actually, if they are a stevedore, that's pretty cool.

Looks like acne

Because they died of embarrassment.

Jesus... I think

Why does it have "influencer" lips?? 😭

Creepy? Yes. But that is actually really well done.

Oof on the last image, ink is falling out. To each their own on a blackout to cover, makes a good base for new ink, but it looks like they might have gone to a scratcher with the ink falling out that bad.

If she's truly vegan then um - being a throat baby isn't.

Should've just let it fade.

It was bad to begin with, no damage done.

Be prepared, Disney is a very litigious company.

Research good cover up artists and get some proper consultation about a good design, this won't be difficult for a good cover up artist to fix with a design that is right for you.

They're horrible, but at least the tattooist was slightly competent.

Horrid. The other artists need not worry.

What... is it

Yatta! (Look it up if you don't get the reference. You won't be sorry. PS-I mean the song by the Green Leaves.)

Aerosmith eat the rich great song

I didn't know Beast was a Simpson.

Poorly executed anti-possession symbol. Yay Supernatural though, great show!

I did thanks. I decided not to get one. 😆

Not the worst one but sloppy for certain

Not to be negtivite but I think something went wrong

Bet he was eating seeds as a pastime Activity

hands are fairly easy to laser.. painful yes.

Can't see the issue, sorry. It's stylised, yes, and?

Yes, the detachable legs scorpion, very rare species.

Oh boy... or girl...

"it's just a flesh wound"

What happened to that poor dog's back half?

ink over scarred skin never turns out well.. unless you have a specialist

Being complacent is typically a bad thing? Why out of everything you could pick...?

I better take a breathe

Didn't use sunscreen huh?

How hard is it to check the spelling?! Firts you, then the tat artist, then you again before making it permanent 🤦🏼‍♀️

peaky blunder

Wonder why?

Had to do some digging to decipher the code, from reddit..... "TV" stands for "Taylor's version", which is how Taylor Swift subtitles the re-recorded releases of her albums she's been creating after the masters ownership dispute several years ago. "All too well" is a song title from the album "red" which is one of the songs/albums she's re-recorded and released. Specifically, "all too well" got a lot of attention when she released the "Taylor's version" because she released a 10-minute version instead of the (idk, 2? 3? Minute) version that was on the original release of the record. It was also famously kind of a diss track about the actor Jake Gyllenhaal, with whom swift had a relationship back in the day. So it got extra attention because of the further light it shed on the details of that relationship.

Teleported back to 2012 Tumblr, this is very 2012 Tumblr.

Just go back and have it touched up, most places offer a free touch up session after the healing process, this looks like it didn't heal properly.

The oft-reconmended but rarely utilized, undisputed cover up king.... The SAP!

The bird is from an animated short about habit-forming substances.

A reputable artist would refuse a hand tat without the presence of full sleeves minimum. I know this vabbage is already a testament to how not reputable OPs artist was, but yes, a reputable artist would have refused to do this at all.
